National Conference leader Omar Abdullah today questioned the absence of the governor's advisers at the Martyrs' day function here saying it was not a party but a state programme to pay tributes to those killed during the 1931 uprising.

?The governor was not able to come here due to his engagements but his advisers also did not show up. This is not a function of any party but a state function,? Omar told reporters after paying floral tributes to the martyrs. (PTI)
